How To Use This Hub
Defense is more than adding Block cards. Reliable decks handle repeated medium hits, one large telegraphed turn, debuffs, statuses, and fights where ending combat quickly prevents more damage than blocking would.
Separate immediate Block from scaling defense and control. Then check draw timing: a strong defensive card that appears after the dangerous turn is not a complete answer. Potions and route choices can cover gaps while the deck develops.
Pair these guides with the monster database. Knowing enemy HP and move patterns lets you decide whether to block, race, debuff, or save a potion for a later threshold.
